Judge commented: “An authentic, well textured and versatile product. We enjoyed the size of the individual pieces and its flavour had clarity, without a hint of the ‘dustiness’ you sometimes encounter in this type of product. We liked it and would be happy to use it in our own kitchens.”

Fontana FORMIELLO Fregula Sarda (500g) is made from high quality durum wheat semolina and water.

This pasta is shaped through bronze dies, slow-dried and lightly toasted.

This traditional process gives fregula its light brown colour and tasty flavour.

Known as Arabic couscous, fregula was introduced to Sardinia by explorers from North Africa and became part of the local cuisine.

Good to know: Fregula can be cooked in boiling water like a classic pasta shape and then tossed with a sauce.

It can be cooked like a risotto rice in the broth of the recipe.

When cooked in boiling water drain thoroughly, tip into a bowl then sprinkle a few drops of olive oil over it and toss to coat evenly. This will stop the beads sticking together as they cool.

Durum wheat semolina (Triticum durum L.), water
